Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9912318A2] The invention relates to a multi-step method for doubling levels of coding, whereby uninterrupted periodic sequences are provided as code elements, e.g. an alternating current with an identical frequency and phase relation and the code elements are marked in relation to each other by variations in amplitude. The inventive method enables amplitude variation to begin with an alternating positive or negative half-period so that the following element can be marked according to code, thereby enabling two levels to be marked with one code element. Instead of three levels, six levels are obtained. When expressed in numbers, combinations of 9,27,81,243 are obtained for 3 levels and 2,3,4,5 columns. Combinations of 36,216,1296 and 7776 are obtained for 6 levels and 2,3,4,5 columns.
